Radio staff work ban
■Radio Avon journalists were due to impose an overtime ban at 4.3(1 a.m. todayin protest’ against staff reductions which they fear will deteriorate the station’s news service. . • The president of the Can-terbury-Westland branch of the Journalists' Union, Mr Russell Anderson, said last evening that the ban resulted from the station management's refusing to replace two journalists who had left. The consequent reduction
•of the news staff from nine to seven, and the prospect of extra work because of the station's joining a private < radio news network made the staff feel they would be unable to handle the increased workload, he said. The station manager,. Mr Noel Wesney, said the journalists were "jumping the gun” because . the private radio news network was only something being discussed. He would' not discuss the staff reductions.
